Jennifer Hudson Pre-Records National Anthem for Super Bowl Performance

Jennifer Hudson did a wonderful job, for all the haters buy a clue! It was her singing the anthem, who cares it was prerecorded, it should have been, you try singing live in a stadim with thousands! I loved her performance-great job Jen and congrats for being so brave after suffering such a great loss, my prayers are with you!

She did good

See how biased the media is. The headline reads "Jennifer Hudson Pre-Records National Anthem for Super Bowl Performance." Then when you read the WHOLE story, it says Faith Hill ALSO pre-recorded her performance. Why did the headline focus in on only one performer. OOPS. I forgot where I was for a moment. This is "America the Beautiful!" Yeah, right! And to the person who compared Jennifer to Milli Vanilli, there IS no comparison. Jennifer CAN and DOES sing LIVE and does it extremely well. So what that she and Faith were asked to lip-sync. And by the way, according to the story, they were both ASKED to do so by the show producer. And like the rest of us on a job, they did as they were told. But really, who cares?

Lord, Lord, Lord! Performers have lip-synced in stadium performances for years. The reverb and the sound delay causes a lot of problems. Does anyone doubt that it was actually Jennifer Hudson's voice? I say BFD and GET OVER IT!!! Now, however, when people like Brit Spears, Janet Jackson, and Madonna lip-sync it is because those people are not really singers--they are PERFORMERS--like monkeys--they are processed products of the recording studio. OK Madonna's singing was passable (i.e. not horrible) on the Dick Tracy and Evita soundtracks--those are the times when she actually had to "sing." Spears did her best "singing" on Star Search when she was a pre-teen--it's been downhill from there.

Sorry, but she could not come CLOSE to singing that rendition live...A studio can make a tone deaf singer sound fantastic...So it's nothing more then another Ashley Simpson SNL moment...She is a fraud plain and simple and so is Faith Hill...you have to love how Jenny was breathing so heavy when she finished as if she just belted it out LIVE...all an act...wake up people and stop letting the suits dictate who you should spend your money on.

Who cares if it was pre-recorded? I thought she did a beautiful job. It was still her singing and it took a lot of courage for her to get out there after what she's gone through. Half the artists out there pre-record a lot more than we think, I'm sure.

IF YALL DIDNT KNOW THAT ALL THE SUPERBOWL PERFORMANCES ARE PRE-RECORDED SHE HAS NOT BEEN THE FIRST AND WONT BE THE LAST. CAN YALL FIND SOMETHING THAT MATTERS TO TALK ABOUT.

Stop criticizing Jennifer Hudson! The technical issues of singing in a huge venue like that makes it VERY difficult to nearly impossible for a singer to stay in sync with the playback coming from the speakers and the singer's monitor. The monitor is closest to the singer, and they hear one thing - then the big speakers farther away carry the sound to the singer's ear about a second later - long enough to get off of the music.
The pre-recording makes it possible for everything to stay together - now - regardless of that - it is STILL Jennifer Hudson's glorious voice - and she probably recorded it all in 1 take - she is AMAZING - she was NOT cheating.

understandable. I was nervous for her only that she may break down. You can tell she was a bit nervous. But she did amazing. Even the pre recording was awesome. She gave me goosebumps. I'm not a fan of hers, but I think she was great. I hope nothing but the best for her and her future.

First and foremost, it was still her voice not some other person. Secondly, it is really true that you can't expect someone to sing without the reverb in a stadium no matter how high tech you are.
Third and Lastly, At least it ain't Roseanne Bar
